"Lin Sha let"s leave, father will be very worried if we stayed late"

Instead of riding a carriage I chose to ride a horse directly. I have a gut feeling that something"s not right about the carriage that was parked outside.

"Lin Sha hold tight"

With out holding back I drove the horse at its fastest speed possible. The darkness of the night make everything so haunted and I will never doubt if a group of a.s.sa.s.sins chase after us.

"Young miss a white carriage is running behind us, what we do?"

"Just pretend that they don"t exist, what you"ll see tonight will be forgotten by tomorrow, do you understand?"

"Y-yes young miss" Lin Sha was trembling like crazy

I hope we"ll survive this ride without raising my sword.

The carriage run ahead of us.

Arrows flew in every direction and it was directed at the carriage. I painstakingly avoided the arrows. So my guess was right there"s an a.s.sa.s.sination attempt, how unlucky.

Out of a sudden the carriage unreasonably stopped in the middle of the road blocking my path. So I was forced to stop my horse. I pushed my maid down.

"Go to that stone, run and hide!"

I draw the sword on my waist out of its scabbard. Eventually blocking the arrows that come my way. The curtains from the carriage flew and men dressed in red appeared. They held swords and flew to contend with the a.s.sa.s.sins.

I dashed towards the carriage and slashed through the window, cutting the curtains that cover the person inside. I am wearing a veil so it is likely that he will not recognize me.

"In the middle of the night you blocked the way and involved me in an a.s.sa.s.sination, to whom do I owe a debt?" I spoke coldy

The man drank the contents of his cup and pulled me in. I could have evaded his hand, but I am too curious to do so.

When I saw his face clearly, I saw the similarities between him and Ruoshi. If I am not mistaken this is the second prince! He is far more handsome and outstanding than the rest of the princes that I have seen. And the aura he"s wearing is comparable to a dragon"s aura. Really powerful and charismatic. But why am I sitting on his lap?

My brows are knitted tightly.

A shadow appeared behind me so I closed my eyes and used my senses to track the position of the intruder. I smiled when I found him. His sword is about to hit when mine strike down to cut his head. The head of the a.s.sa.s.sin rolled on the floor of the carriage. I escaped from the grasp of the second prince and then he chuckled beside me.

I elegantly sat down, with a sword at hand. Hearing the exchange of clashing swords from men who battled for their lives.

"Ms. Qin, I see that you"re proficient at killing people--"

"I only killed one, how can you call me proficient? That"s basically self defense and nothing else."

"Master we"ve already killed the intruders, but the maid has shielded one of the a.s.sa.s.sins and ran away."

"It seems like your maid is too loyal to someone else"

"Chase after her, bring her head to the manor for me. I have been shaken with the a.s.sa.s.sination attempt"

The prince chuckled.

"You"ve heard her, proceed!"

The carriage moved once again.

"I"ll send you home"

"En."

Then ride home became extremely silent.
